The Minnesota Department of Health funds a Tribal Tobacco grant to the MLBO with the goal of assisting tribal communities to advance commercial tobacco-free policies and aid in smoking cessation. The grant offers tobacco education, provides traditional tobacco information, and works to support informal commercial tobacco use policies throughout the MLBO communities. As part of this, the grant coordinates and funds signage, supplies, and other items for use at MLBO events and government buildings. The grant coordinator also works to create and advocate formal commercial tobacco use policy for the entire MLBO. To find out more about how the Tribal Tobacco grant can provide services or supplies, contact Colleen McKinney.
